[@ultimatebasses]

Julia sneaking in a little Rush at the end. Love it! 🇨🇦

[@evelynstenberg]

On the wall panel above the pineapple, it looks like a llamas head and neck.. i can't unsee it

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

haha...now I can see it too! :D // Cheers, Julia

[@dupinion]

For a whole five minutes thirty, I can see a woman and she looks like Julia Hofer although in fact, that's Angela Merkel.

[@epl3595]

Llama, taboot taboot...(google it) Right on!

[@jessd1952]

don't make eye contact or it will attack you lol

[@brettmarlar4154]

I would've gone with the Ibanez headless in the 5-string multi-scale! Love the "Tom Sawyer" play out at the end! That's a fine way to play your way into a fella's heart!😉😻😉😻

[@IvanGorn]

I bought 1998 Japanese '62 Fender Precision Bass in 3TS. Such a lovely instrument! 😊

[@grizelda4526]

Hurray, a Julia video! Very cool demonstration. That Sterling looks tempting.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

I am in love with the colour and the roasted neck! // Cheers, Julia

[@marcpuyuelograndas1005]

Now I know what the little black thing near the strings is for!!!!! Great to know

[@PooNinja]

I always wondered about that too! 🤘🏽

[@deividasprunskas6689]

yeah my dumb ass thought it was some sort of pickup

[@Malum09]

i thought it was a magnet...

[@Aint1S]

Lol I used to think it was a thumb rest that was supposed to be mounted on the top!

[@Aint1S]

I mean, that's a logical thought... To mount it up top, especially on a 4 string..

[@michaelkeefer4293]

I bought two Ibanez basses this year, an EHB 16505 for me and a Mikro for my daughter who just started learning to play. Both sound great and play amazingly!

[@edbrito-swdev]

I was missing Julia's videos on the channel! Rock on!

[@vanderHoffTeachings]

I have a 5 string Spector with the EMG pickups and I love it! Easy to play, the neck is fatastic.

[@kirkbolas4985]

I like the Squier 50’s PBass. My kids bought me the Harley Benton version of the same bass for my birthday this year. I love the tone and feel.

[@gautrstafr]

Highlight of the day: Julia sent me a kiss. My fav sound was the Sterling followed by the Squier. But they do sound very different!

[@tte_3]

i bought the Spector Legend Classic 4 CG/WB in December 2019 but it arrived after 8-10 weeks later in Feburary 2020, worth the time waiting for it. its absolutely awesome

[@raulunzue3159]

Julia looking gorgeus ! I will chose P bass for sure. Awesome content , continue rocking guys!

[@goozrat]

i bought a squier paranormal jazz bass in blonde butterscotch (i named it Blondie) and its a DREAM to play, it has that classic j bass growl to it and with faltwounds it's even better! I can see myself going to hundreds of gigs with it and it'll still play brand new! I will take it (and a rickenbacker 4003 in ruby red when i get one) to the grave, it's my most prized possession!

[@Brotesque89]

Sterling Stingray 34 natural was the one I bought and I gotta say its my favorite that I've played. The new roasted necks are fantastic.

[@GinoBtheman]

I hopped on the fender player series P this year and the sterling sub ray 5, great purchases my credit loves me

[@damiansanchez429]

after the simpler demo lines before, i did n o t expect her to start slapping like that. very well done‼️

[@LeifPalmin]

I bought a Sire Marcus Miller Vintage 5 string Ash. A white beauty from Thomans. Very happy. Wish you the best Julia, take care in these times.

[@Kraz3e987]

In the beginning of the year I bought a Rickenbacker 4003sw/5 (5 string rick with walnut body) and just recently ordered a Sire U5

[@DennisVlaanderen]

I didn't buy any new basses this year, but instead went the DIY route and built one myself. PJ in Telebody with Tele headstock. Just need to shim the neck still to get it playable. If I were to buy a new bass at the moment though I'd really be looking at a headless one.

[@piotrscibor1257]

I like the simplicity of the Squire and the idea playing with your thumb with fingers on the rest. My favourite bass is however Yamaha TRBX 504/5 :)

[@Thudmunky]

I bought the squire 50’s p bass and it’s an amazing instrument. The build quality is flawless and the sound is perfectly balanced. Another great video Julia, and great playing as always 🤘🔥

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Have fun with your 50's p bass! 😊 // Cheers, Julia

[@nautvanhee398]

I actually bought my first bass ever! It was Sterling stingray 4! Love the sound of the single humbucker.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Nice, have fun with your first bass! 👍😊 // Cheers, Julia

[@donh5794]

I just bought the Ray24CA, these are nice basses too. It's my 2nd bass. Later I'll be interested in a fretless. Hopefully Julia will do a video on fretless basses unless she has already done one.

[@bsko]

Finally, now I know what the tug bar is and why it’s there! Thanks Julia 🙏

[@keithmcduffie7182]

I Liked The Spector, I Bought A Cort B5 Artisan Plus (From Thomann) & I Love Julia. 💘🎸🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@ImJustStandingHere]

that's the best tone I've heard out of a spector euro series bass in a while

[@matejgrim]

I've got my first Sandberg bass this spring - the Oliver Riedel signature California🔥... Awesome bass

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Yeah, have fun with the new instrument! 😊 // Cheers, Julia

[@arlolambdin8710]

I got a new-to-me bass, but I have been wanting one of these for years and I love everything about it. It is a white Epiphone SG EB-3 from around the early to mid 2000's (I think).

[@EdmHistorEE]

Great demo as always. Love how Julia, Kris, Guillaume and the team show off this great gear. Keep it coming!

[@nicolasurteagabriceno3388]

Höfner. This year I bought an Ibanez tmb600. I love it.

[@crazeyjoe]

That Spector Euro Classic with the pair of J pickups was awesome and heads and shoulders above the others imo!

[@HuguesDUROIR]

👏 The Squier 50’s C is my favorite 🤩

[@joermnyc]

I actually have the “Club” version of that Hofner, (500/2) in transparent black (I don’t think it’s sold in this color anymore). I love it.

[@jcburn1973]

Both the Spector and the Squire are rad. EB basses arent my thing but that Sterling sounded incredible. Great work!

[@juareztavora9250]

Hey Julia, great channel! Greetings from Brazil! I loved you finished the video playing “Tom Sawyer” from my favorite band Rush!

[@Stewkeithmtb]

Julia makes them all sound great in different ways.

[@rubybranish9440]

STARTED WITH THE IBANEZ GSRM 20. DOING GOOD PLAYING,AND RECENTLY PUT A FENDER JAZZ BLUES GUITAR 🎸 BASS ON LAYAWAY.

[@dogcowrph]

I love Julia. She’s a great presenter. I’d love to see a review of Ric 4000 series. What are the differences between them, ect.

[@marontesla2982]

Actually yes))) i bought this year my awesome yamaha bb735a)) it is just incredible!!)

[@eddyguizonde401]

my favorite is the one i was gifted in april: the harley benton RBK414 in left-handed mode. great bass, sounds gritty, dirty, and oddly enough, can be very smooth.

[@ribaluigi]

I've bought a Fender Vintera Precision '50s and I'm super happy with it!

[@BAL80A493]

Just bought a Music Man Bongo 5 BFR and it's absolutely incredible

[@aswinvandongen5944]

U are a lucky man! It's still my wet dream......

[@charlescdt6509]

Its going to be a good day when the Goddess of the Bass Julia drops a video. It would be awesome to get an autograph someday. Keep up the good work.

[@PingPongPix]

Love you Julia ❤️ & my choice, the Squier 50's!!

[@OlettaLiano]

I have a ESP D-6 Six-string, but it's too heavy now that I have a neck disc condition. I needed something lighter, so I just bought a Steinberger Spirit XT-25 Bass. It should arrive this week. Keep on rocking!

[@yose1402]

I hace two favourite Spector bass, because good hight tones and dice string. And Ibañez bass because good hight tones.

[@pwokaren]

I liked the Squier. Yes, bought two Basses this year. Music Man Stingray NeckThru and a Music Man Cutlass. I love them both. 🥰

[@8242anthony]

I personally use the Yamaha attitude bass because I like the dual outputs for running a clean channel and a dirty channel

[@ravelitschimo]

The Spector sounds great

[@KaltOhm]

Wow, that Stingray is a beauty. Cool video!

[@MarcG7424]

The Hofner looks good in black I never saw one in any color other than sunburst good to see some variety

[@boomerbassmeme]

Favorite of these was the Spector! A strong second to the Sterling. 👋🍍😎👍

[@theplayers3507]

I just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS Julia, they are a favorite to watch!! I hope they give you a raise!

[@st4ndaman]

The new Sandberg SL series... 6lbs 7ozs and my back has never felt better. Awesome bass.

[@duncanrobjohns422]

That spector sound fantastic, that's what I'd choose right now. Currently rocking my Fender Jag which I'm pretty happy with to be honest. So not looking for a new one at the moment.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

I really like that spector! It was a lot of fun to play that instrument. // Cheers, Julia

[@RebieRebs]

I think the spectors take the number 1 spot for me! They look and sound great, I prefer them even over the stingrays which a lot of people simply adore. If I were to buy a bass (I won't since I already have one) then I would probably buy a spector, they are beautiful

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

The Spector was the last bass I played at that day. In my opinion it was the best sounding bass out of these Top 5. The feeling was great, a lot of punch, low end, very clear...I really liked it. // Cheers, Julia

[@grooveholmes79]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses I bought two Spectors this year. Used 2002 Euro 4 and a brand new Euro LX4 in the transparent black stain....its amazing! Best bass I've ever played, looks great, feels great and sounds amazing.

[@femugogmail]

Spectors are better than Warwick!

[@angelalancaster7176]

@@femugogmail Warwick copied the Spector but they fell quite short in my opinion. I love the Euro line personally but if you can find a good Spector NS from the 80’s early 90’s I would throw the whole bank at it and never buy anything else.

Ahhh the superb sound of a Spector. Yum.

[@flappieneus]

The Spector or the Squier P. I would love to see a video with Julia showing her own bass collection! 😊

[@spiketaterman5181]

I liked the Squire the best!

[@craighudson4382]

bought the Ibanez 1506MS this year. Stellar instrument!

[@trigonometrisk]

The Squier P sounds phenomenal.

[@haithamkarajay2460]

Good choices 👍 I’ve got my 1st bass just couple of weeks ago and my choice after watching dozens of videos (including yours 🙂) was the Stingray 34 PB !

[@Dandyboy84]

I would pick the Stingray! This year I bought a magnificent Epiphone Jack Casady in metallic gold (fantastic instrument) and a very well sounding Squier Classic Vibe 60s jazz bass in Daphne Blue (it's a very good instrument, with a warm and definite sound). Keep up the good work Julia! ❤️

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

metallic gold and semi hollow 😍

[@themigwel6185]

Nice to see the sterling in there. Gonna pick this one up in 1-2 months. 🤘

[@Sonic_Axe]

Just picked up a Stingray Special. Awesome bass!

[@sandratenschert1920]

Oh what a beautiful video!! Great content, great studio too :D

[@AgentJot23]

I didn't know those Ibanez headless basses comes in 4 string version. I need to try one of them.

[@rewind25761Se]

I buy this year HB jb-75 and I love it (thanks thomann) Julia well done, your videos so so cool

[@Sonnylovesphotography]

I would pick the sterling, the squire sounded really good

[@ELTOVAR07]

I got the Ibanez ehb bass in a five string ! Julia you’re awesome! 🤓

[@markmilner842]

I have an older version of the CV Precision in Lake Placid blue. Great basses. If I could have any of the basses you showed it would have to be the Stingray. Didn’t get a new bass this year, but did pick up a new amp. New bass next year, hopefully.

[@knuthelgegranhanssen5544]

Bought the Ibanez EHB1505MS-PLF so happy with it 😁😁😍

[@Scapal]

I like the EHB, almost took the plunge for the 1505 but I already bought a G&L Tribute L-2000, a Maruszczyk custom Jake and a Ibby Mikro for my son.

[@jimmyjam5358]

Looking good. I want that black Hofner.

[@fabianhenzler7557]

Just seen Julia in German television on the UEFA EURO 2020 Live with an awesome MJ Bassline 🥰

[@chadrach3]

Tom Sawyer closing song!!! Love it!!!!

[@JC_dk]

I just bought a Ibanez EHB1000, and I LOVE it! :-)

[@AntianoAnto]

Guten Tag/Gruß Sie and Hi to Julia and All, When Julia plays the Höfner Ignition SE, in this video, that melody 'sounds familiar': what famous song, by which famous band I just can't remember is it?

[@vincentwong4944]

Fall in love with Julia!

[@kimboberley]

I have the sterling music man with x2 humbuckers in the olive green and maple fretboard. and i LOVE IT it amazing

[@FarrinD12]

Awesome playing Julia!

[@moonrabbitcraftworks4902]

Hofner violin bass is top of my list 🎸

[@pinobuoro]

I go for the Spector

[@DavidC96]

Thanks for these Reviews :-)

[@dennisreffner]

Just got a new bass yesterday.....an Epiphone Viola bass....it’s beautiful, and I would write more but I have to go play it right now!!😎

[@frankjuster8726]

@Dennis Reffner good choice ! i bought the epi viola last year , strung it with labella flatwounds to bring out the woody vintage tone . great looks great sound .

[@ChipsA17]

Sterling music man is my choice. Picking up a ray34 sometime in the next year.

[@donh5794]

I bought the Ray24CA after almost buying the Ray4 and would have bought the Ray34. The biggest difference was between the Ray4 and Ray24CA.

[@g3ng4rb0i3]

Yo why is she so fire, also that ibanez is really up my alley simple small but with a dope bass tone

[@foxbat2549]

Nice presentation of your 5 faves for 2020. I'm a bit surprised on the selection of Squier CV 50's Precision with all the amazing instruments out there, - but I approve. Good 'ole Leo (Fender) got it right the first time back in the early 50's.

[@diluteduk]

I really want one of those sterling stingrays. Couldn't afford one so I got a Hartley Benton MB4, which I'm loving

[@Kreschti]

I just love my Schecter SLS Evil Twin-4 I got this year 🖤

[@brooksonly7337]

I love the squire! Sounds warm.

[@jacktrottier9594]

I really like the musicman and the squire tele bass for the amazing tone they had. The hofner had a really vintage tone, which I liked Unfortunately it's a short scale which I cannit get used to.

[@abouc]

Great video. If price were not an option, the Spector and Musicman would be my top choices. No new basses purchased this year, but I'm building one that will hopefully be done by February.

[@chris2fur401]

Love the sting ray. Been wanting to get a newer one. Looking good and playing good as always Julia! Sweet pickin

[@felynxfelix9550]

The first bass sounded so good

[@dirkjanklijn9949]

My favorite is the Sire V3 2nd gen. love it.

[@juanchis.investigadorsonoro]

That Ibanez looks beautiful! I think, Hofner was my favorite and yes, I got a custom bass in January. :)

[@darvinist87]

The Hofner and the Squier have sound so fat it drips from my headset and I love it.

[@tomwalraet8304]

It depends of course what kind of music you want to play. As I play the blues a lot last couple of years I would definitely go for the Fender squier at first place second the Sterling and third the Spector. Nice Vid btw.

[@rickwheeler6811]

Love the Rush tune at the end!

[@FenderBassMan]

Yes, Julia, I bought a new bass this year. It's the shorty version of the Sterling MM Ray in Daphne blue; it's remarkably true to the celebrated MM sound. (I'm also converting a Fender players J-bass neck into a fretless--that's kinda like buying a new bass, yes, no?)
